My guess is that this hoax was perpetrated by the 527 group, Texans for truth. I saw the head of this group on Scarborough last night and the ad that he has made, accusing Bush of shirking his National guard duty. My guess is that this guy is behind the forged docs and the Barnes lie.
They have stated that they are not behind the documents that CBS aired. They know nothing of it.
That being said, the fact that the ad came out so close to the time CBS aired the story indicates the possibility of coordination.
Nope, IMHO, this has Clintoons fingerprints on it. HRC has the most to gain from Kerry’s crash & burn. It’s been discussed here for the pass 6 months; there is no way the Clintoons are going to allow Kerry 4, possibly 8 years in the WH, plus control of the Dim party.
This is the Clintoon’s October surprise a month early. (And they are probably sitting on more “October surprises” if necessary.)
